1.7 Precautions for Safe Use of the Robot System
NOTE: This section provides safety precautions to be taken when you configure the robot system with
the SMT7 controller. For details, refer to the ISO 10218-1:2006, Safety Requirements.
[1] For the mechanism to be driven
(1) If the mechanism involves a risk of bodily injury to workers, set up a safety fence
to prevent danger.
(2) When the joint(s) in the mechanism has the largest motion range in all joints,
prepare mechanical stops with sufficient rigidity.
(3) When the joint(s) in the mechanism has the 2nd or 3rd largest motion range in all
joints, prepare joint limiters with sufficient rigidity.
(4) If the mechanism involves a risk of bodily injury to workers when the brakes are
released, use warning labels to alert workers to danger.
(5) If it is not easy to carry the mechanism, prepare any measures for hoisting it.
(6) Provide markings (e.g. labels) on the driven mechanisms to show which axis
corresponds to which mechanism.
[2] When connecting motors
(1) When connecting the motors using cables, protect those cables from electrical
noise.
[3] When mounting motors
(1) If the motor surface gets hot and the workers are at risk of touching the heated
surface, attach a warning label, alerting them to the high temperature.
[4] For providing data to the user
(1) When the motion range of the joint in the mechanism is 3rd largest or below in all
joints, provide the user with the maximum stop time and distance of that joint,
using instruction manuals, etc.
